Chapter Fifteen: A Birthday
16 June Thursday
Well, we went to dinner and had pieta, which is a rice dish with chicken. I ended up sitting at the table with the birthday girl. Other people at my table were Gordo, Anna, David, and some other person, Justin. Justin seems nice. Here is the thing.His name is Justin Gregory. Ah! His mother is Mrs. Gregory. He didn't seem too glad to be related to her. He is a year younger than all of us, though. He came because his mom was there. On this trip, he has mostly been with Larry, but decided to branch out and talk to us. (Actually I think he may have a slight crush on Anna.interesting.)
Anyway, so we talked at the table. David was especially talkative tonight, for some reason. He even gave Sarah a few kisses tonight in public at the table.
After dinner, the lights were turned out, and all the sudden, Lucy started singing "Feliz cumpleaños a tu, feliz cumpleaños a tu, Feliz cumpleaños a Sarah! Feliz cumpleaños a tu!!!" We all clapped. We then sang the English version of the song, and Lucy presented her with a special desert with a candle. Then, Lucy gave her the card we all signed. I didn't bring my present because it would be obvious. Earlier that day, Anna had given Sarah a shirt from Paris. David gave her a bracelet, and I gave her the card that Gordo and I, as well as Miranda signed during desert. She seemed thankful. She seemed really happy.
After dinner, we were to go on a historical walk through parts of the city. We met the guide and started our walk. We learned about a bunch of the buildings and saw countless amounts of statues. We were told stories, and other stuff that is good to know when in Madrid.
I wouldn't know. I wasn't listening very well. I was walking in the back with Gordo and we were having our own conversation.
Gordo: So was today a good day for you?
Lizzie: Yeah, I guess.
Gordo: You never told me how your visit with Mrs. Gregory went last night. Well?
Lizzie: That woman is absolutely crazy. She said that what happened last night, the game, (I blushed) was very embarrassing and that if I wanted, she would have a talk with you.
Gordo: What did you say to that?
Lizzie: I said I would like that.
Gordo: What?! You didn't!
I smiled.
Lizzie: Maybe, maybe not. I tried to explain to her that what happened really wasn't that big of a deal. She wanted you and I to have a talk about it.
Gordo: But we did.
Lizzie: I know. I think she wants to have in her head that she was the one that thought we should have a talk.
Gordo: Oh, I see. Well, she hasn't talked to me yet.
Lizzie: I asked her not to talk to you.
Gordo: Good. So, lets change the subject. Do you miss America?
Lizzie: Well, in a way, I guess I miss my parents and Matt, but I am glad I am here. You and Miranda being here have made it a lot easier.
Gordo: I agree. I think I would go crazy if I was stuck with only knowing Ethan and Kate.
We laughed. We continued to walk in silence. Suddenly, Gordo took my hand and held it. I was surprised but happy that he did this. We held hands for the rest of the walk.
When it was dark, and the walk stopped, we stopped near a village and walked around the village, doing our own thing. I walked with Gordo to get some ice cream. We ate it sitting on the outer ledge of the fountain in the center of the village. It was a really awkward moment, and also really silent. All the sudden I felt him staring at me like his eyes were somewhere else.
Lizzie: Why are you looking at me like that?
Gordo shook out of his trance.
Gordo: Like what?
Lizzie: Like you are.
Gordo: Well, I don't know. I guess I feel like I am lucky that I have such a great friend who likes me.
Lizzie: Well, I do like you. I like being liked.
I smiled and we laughed. It was after we laughed that it happened. He kissed me. It wasn't a kiss on the forehead like before though. He kissed me on the lips. It was perfect. After he stopped, he looked at me. I did not really know how to react. I was speechless.
Lizzie: I.uh.thank you?
Gordo laughed.
Gordo: You are welcome.
He kissed me again, and this time, I kissed him back. I didn't care that people could see us, because they couldn't. It was too dark. We let go, and realized it was time to meet up with the rest of the group.
On the walk home, Gordo and I continued to talk. We were a lot more talkative then we were earlier that day. We continued to hold hands. I think I even saw Sarah look back at us and wink at me. I am glad it was dark because I blushed.
When we were at the hotel, Gordo and I hugged each other goodbye. The day was over, and it was late. I was so excited.
Miranda, Sarah, and I got into our hotel rooms, and as soon as the doors were closed, Miranda and Sarah started asking me all these questions. I answered what I wanted to answer.
Sarah: Lizzie has a boyfriend?
Miranda: Has he kissed you yet?
Lizzie: That is not any of your business.
Miranda: Of course that means yes.
Miranda and Sarah screamed in excitement.
We dressed into our pajamas and I remembered I had a bear to give her, so I gave it to her, unwrapped.
Sarah: Oh my gosh! It is so cute! Thank you so much, Lizzie!
Lizzie: You are so welcome!
We stayed up a little longer and talked about various things, like the fact that Anna and Justin were flirting with each other all night.
Sarah: They would make a cute couple.
Miranda: What about her boyfriend?
Sarah: Well, they broke up, it was just unofficial. The break up I mean.
Lizzie: Cool.
We went to bed. Well, they did. I am writing to you now, aren't I? Goodnight!
